500PP Racing Car Super Lap: Laguna Seca [Mazda Raceway]

[ALB123]

Oil Changes -- This is one of the more embarrassing "features" of GT6. Change the oil from the dealership and HP and Torque magically increase. "The REAL Driving Simulator"...

 

[coryclifford]

I got the TS030 down to 150kg of ballast. 4.26 kg/hp But now only 246hp @ 5500rpm, 251 tq @ 5100... so, short shifts.

 

[Growling]

How short? Are you using different gear settings?

It's amazing how short you have to shift to get the most out of the car.. Feels like such a slow way to do it.

 

[coryclifford]

Tach pointer facing about 1 o'clock. So it lands on the torque peak when I shift.

Trans gears are untouched, but set to 149 and 5.000

Almost like cruising in 5th and 6th.

@coryclifford : I'm at 99kg of ballast, 240bhp, and 4.19 kg/hp. You need to grind more

 

[Growling]

Woah! How fast is it with those numbers?

Mines at 156kg ballast

 

[coryclifford]

Whoa is right.

I'm at 146 now, and it keeps getting faster.

 

[TRL_Andromeda]

I havent run it yet, will do that tomorrow.

 

[Growling]

Damn it!

I'm at 1:21.1 and the lap looks perfect to me. I guess it probably is, it's just the cars in front of me are faster!

 

[coryclifford]

I'm thinking the car will be too slow up the hill at some point. I'm flooring it through that corner.

 

[Growling]

You should be flat through there whatever the weight really

 

[coryclifford]

I pretty much am, but as it gets lighter it seems easier to be

Maybe not

 

[coryclifford]

Lighter and faster. 👍

[coryclifford]

Nicely done! 👍

I got up to about 10,350 km (~6400 m).

Just didn't feel like driving today. Or getting out of bed. Or grinding away.

how did you do all these miles?
Thanks!

Absolutely brilliant. Congratulations TRL_Andromeda! I really hope they remove the cheater so you can get the #1 position. You, I and the rest of GTP will know the truth, even if he isn't removed, but now that past Seasonal Events are accessible from the website -- I would hate some newbie to look at the results of this event three months from now and think all of your hard work was only good enough for 2nd place while some cheating piece of crap holds 1st place.

Speaking of that...Why hasn't GTP banned @Brunoblak yet? It has been proven that he is a cheater. Should he not have the privilege of posting on GTP removed? Many members have had their accounts removed for less.

He probably hasn't been banned because he has done nothing to break this sites AUP. Cheating on the PSN has nothing to do with GTP here so that is probably why he is not banned. PSN has their own rules, GTP has theirs, the two are not interlinked in any way. Just ignore the guy. The more publicity you guys give him, the more he is going to do things like this. Everyone here pretty much knows about his antics, so there is really no need to call anymore attention to the matter. Doing so only feeds his hunger for attention. Starve him and he will eventually fade away.

 

[joeledward]

Hmm words of wisdom LOL, Finally got my TSO30's oil dirty and may get at least an hour or two with it.

The is in reference to the use of the TSO30 in case anyone was wondering,

What exactly is that supposed to mean? With the I sense some sort of sarcasm in regards to my post. I barely post here anymore so I don't understand your attitude here with me.

 

[oooMaXimumooo]

For anyone that want to give the Toyota a go. This is how I use two elastic bands on by controller. Throttle on full and steering slightly into the guardrail to the left

 

[coryclifford]

Lighter is faster.

P18 with 21.138

After 8 beers.

8 beers that early eh? :-)

 

[coryclifford]

Time is irrelevant sometimes.

 

[Growling]

Don't you hate it when you improve by over 2 tenths but don't move on the leader board

1:20.825 at the mo. Hopefully run again before the end

 

[nowayback]

Question... grinding the TS ...oil red, but engine also deteriorated.... do you overhaul engine?

 

[coryclifford]

No. Don't do a thing but put on more miles (or kilometers).

Both my oil light and engine rebuild light are flashing red in the Pit Service area.

 

[Growling]

Lol OMG no dont rebuild engine
